Thanks, I use my kiln for really small pieces like top blanks, pen blanks, ornament bodies and such. I also spray lacquer a lot and put artisitic pieces in the kiln to dry so I can buff them out. Thanks for looking. Sam

Solar dry-kilns are handy. You could build a small one. I have one that holds 1500 bd/ft but you wouldn't need one that big. It gets hot too. That's important for killing boring beetle larvae. Great vid. Good luck in your pursuits.

Another idea i had was to use the warm air in the attic to make a kiln. Using your cabinet put a small, like one thats in a computer, to circulate the dry air over the wood. Thus pulling the moisture out with the warm dry air. It might be breaking a fire code by putting a hole in the ceiling like that. But there are fart fans in bathrooms. So there are holes in the celing. Let me know your thoughts.

How long does it take to dry 1" wood in there?
